She died three days ago, the lady in 
the apartment at the end of the corridor.
She was eighty-three. The medics rolled
her out in a shiny black body bag, 
a not uncommon sight in this housing 
complex for the elderly. 

They found her on the kitchen floor, 
to one side of a chair. She didn’t even
have

Amplitude in a Small Apartment

There is a need for quietness today,
I listen to my neighbor's toilet flush,
it takes a long time for the sound
to drain away and refill,
I hold seconds inside my mind
between that rise and fall.

There is space for listening,
the trash compactor chews on
when switched off.
I hear conversations
filtering through the air conditioner,
words both distinct and garbled.
Yesterdays hurried meal
speaks

EMPTY APARTMENT AND MEMORIES OF OLD

Old radio plays slow jams in memory of best moments but fleeting,
The vigour and splendour of youth unfolding cautiously as stars mount the skies.
Dancing to the collapsed hope of a lover knows hurtful heart from staggering footsteps,
Memories splashed on walls, laughter and silence hanging over my head like broken halo.
thoughts heavy to let go, the

Memory Poem In Apartment A - 1971

a brace of wine glasses standing tall on a kitchen table
greasy frying pan luxuriating immodestly in the kitchen sink
two forks and two knives bathing naked in the steamy water
vinyl black record spinning clockwise under a cool ceiling fan
music by beethoven caressing the hour with perfume sounds
clock on the television

An Apartment Building

An apartment building is a giant,
Tall.
Holding so many in its clutches.

An apartment building is a means of protection.
A means of shelter:
Protecting from storms.

An apartment building is a monster
With thousands of eyes
That gaze upon you as you pass by.

Important Apostrophe and a Tenant who is a Mysterious Lady

It should have said St John’s - with that apostrophe!
So many omit the little mark.
How could they, when its presence or absence
gives us one meaning or the other?

A tenant within these apartments
who is a mysterious lady,
placed the absent apostrophe on that poster,
kept this nighttime act a secret, and crept away.

St John was a saint we

Luxury Apartment

I wander through the days and nights with my mind set on a luxury apartment on the block, I have been saving to buy it for more than a decade because nobody can live in it.

Aunties Apartment House For Women

Her apartment house was shaped like a tall woman’s boot.
I could see why she chose to live there, it did in fact suit.
Her disposition, her opinions, her ideals and her attitude.
Being inside with her, reading, put me into a powerful mood.

Women power forever! My assertive, opinionate Aunt Bertie said.
She had the attitude of Rosie the

who fleeced me and when he/she

Describing My Book Shelf

A lot I could say about my bookshelf:
In a way like my half-understood self.
A first-time user should seek my half help
Against a blind book search and its yelp!

Supports the cruel weight of three thousand books:
Fat ones except Camus’ that it brooks,
Golding’s moderate-sized up to ten
And Hemingway’s made to stand like brave men!

Wood that clearly woos

Your Best Friends Apartment

We sat on the porch of your best friends apartment
Celebrating time with cigarettes and conversation
You sat on my lap; a siege concealed in a kiss
My envy revealed with the feel of your swollen lips

Inhaling your breath like a cold, autumn wind
Those Marloburo reds and your darkness within
Despite all the secrets; freely bleeding from me
You bought

Four Cafes

High above the quiet, darkened streets of January, the night wind begins to whisper secrets through my apartment window casements. Far below me lie four cafes, all in sync as they awaken from daytime hibernation to begin an evening ritual of turning on lights, welcoming thirsty patrons, discouraging lost polar bears, trying to survive.

My Apartment

To the left of my apartment a baby is chronically crying.
To the right of my apartment a couple is arguing,
and above my apartment parents are disciplining their children.
Most living in such an environment might find this noise pollution annoying,
but I on the other hand find it quite entertaining.
Despite all of the continual audio chaos that
